The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Febbuaby 1, 1912. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



The Market. 



Trade is brisk at present, with stock 

 rather scarce; there has been quite a 

 shortage on roses on several occasions, 

 and even carnations are short at times. 

 We have had an unusual amount of 

 funeral work lately, which has used up 

 lots of stock. Roses are good and some 

 extra fancy stock has been coming in 

 that brings top notch prices. Carna- 

 tions have been coming in quite heavily 

 considering the weather, but there are 

 times when we could use a great many 

 more. 



Sweet peas are good sellers, with 

 rarely enough to go the rounds. Valley 

 has also been quite scarce, but with 

 demand rather light. A few tulips are 

 to be seen and single jonquils have 

 made their appearance and are cer- 

 tainly a welcome addition to the list of 

 stock. Lilies have not been plentiful 

 for some time. 



Blooming plants have been moving 

 nicely, with azaleas and cyclamen 

 taking the front row. 



Various Notes. 



McKinley day here did not amount 

 to much. It was nothing compared 

 with a few years ago and it seems to be 

 getting lighter as the years go by. 



Sherman Stephens reports things 

 moving nicely at his place, with stock 

 scarce. 



Wm. Graff is visiting in West Baden 

 and Chicago for a week or two. 



James McKellar, of the Fifth Avenue 

 Floral Co., is on deck again, but 

 obliged to use a cane. Trade is quite 

 good at their store, considering the 

 inconvenience caused by the fire. It 

 will be several weeks before things 

 are straightened out in good shape. 



E. Metzmaier reports good business. 



The Franklin Park Floral Co. also 

 reports good business. J. M. 



Charles City, la. — M. H. Wetherbee 

 has added two houses, each 28x123, 

 and has planted one of them with car- 

 nations and the other with roses. His 

 grower, Edward Schuster, is showing 

 his ability to produce first-class stock.
